Hey guys! I am new to this forum and I had a question. Is it possible to get rid of man breasts (or man "boobs") by weight loss (exercising and dieting)?
Man Breasts
- Thread starter Premonition
- Start date
^^^ I'm talking about man breasts that stick out (along with a belly). Is it possible to lose them without plastic surgery?
Anyone else want to give their input?
Depends somewhat on the cause, 90% of the time yes weight loss will do it. If the condition is caused by hormonal imbalance natural or chemical then you will have to be horribly underweight for the to go away and they will be the first weight you put back on. Have a doc check the cause of them if they are composed of regular fat diet them away if they are breast tissue may as well start saving for surgery now.
I used to think I had gynemcomastia, even after I started
losing weight. I was very wrong. Don't worry and conentrate on losing fat.The boobs will go away. For now, don't bulk up your chest either. Wait for the fat to start going away. When you do start shaping your chest, focus on INCLINE exercises. Incline flies, press, etc. Those target your upper chest, which is what you want if you don't want to look like Barbie.

^ I'm in disagreement with you here because when i read your respons, i am interrupting that you don't want him to lift at all. You need to lift weights because it helps with weight loss, and it maintains your muscle while you are losing weight.When you lift use compound movements and full body routines.The biggest tip i can give you is this site for weight loss
It is possible to bulk up your chest somewhat on a defecit. I know this from first hand experience. If you want to shape your chest as to get rid of the man boobs, do INCLINE chest exercises. Wide grip might help as well, since you probably want a broader chest. I realize there are various arguments on this subject, but here are some facts-
A. I've been obsessed over improving my own chest from flabby and feminine to lean and well shaped over the last few years.
B. I've found success from everything I've suggested.
So, premonition, My advice is to of course lose fat, and when working out your chest, stick with inclines and wide grip. Also, untill you're bodyfat decreases, stick to higher reps (8 -15).
At the very least, don't worry. If you work at it, they will eventually go away. But before checking your chest in the mirror, look at other parts of your body to see if you're losing weight. From what I've seen and read, chest fat isnt the first thing to go.

i dont agree with that. i would say smoking pot, and eating a lot probably has more to do with getting man boobs than just the pot itself. ive read that marijuana boosts your metabolism, and gives you more energy due to the endorphin rush you experience. i think munchies are the culprit, not the actual marijuana.

Studies have shown that increased marijuana use will lower testosterone levels, and increase estrogen levels. And male breast tissue, described by the condition gynocomastia, is caused by heightened levels of estrogen and/or progesterone.
Shape up your man boobs? Lose fat, fat is what is giving them shape.
IMO the bench press is best for chest, in many variations.
Get chest cut? Same as shape up... Thats the same question. To get cut you have to lose fat first. You have pecs waiting for you under there, I swear.
